Thanks! When I bought this house (my first) and painted all the walls (another first for me) I painted my room lilac because that's what I had always wanted. I made the quilt a few years ago, and the pillows were one of my first project when I was learning how to quilt. I don't really have a sewing machine either, I borrow my mom's. I do all the quilting by hand because it's not a very good machine and I like handquilting anyway. It's easy and fun ,,, and meditative like crochet.
